NAME

forward - forward new mail to one or more addresses.

SYNOPSIS

in .qmail: |forward address ....

DESCRIPTION

forward forwards each new mail message to the specified list of addresses. It is a simple wrapper around qmail-queue. It achieves the same results as listing each address separately in .qmail, but it is more programmable since address can be constructed on the fly.

forward rewrites the sender using Sender Rewriting Scheme if SRS** has been configured. See** indimail-srs(5) for information on how to do this.

If running as non-root, forward uses environment set according to files in $HOME/.defaultqueue directory. You can skip $HOME/.defaultqueue if SKIP_LOCAL_ENVIRONMENT is set. If QUEUE_BASE environment variable is not set, it additionally uses environment set according to files in /etc/indimail/control/defaultqueue directory (for any uid).
